Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 40,233,371 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 40,233,371 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 97,49,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2419277
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2419277
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/97,233/49,371/509 is 1/2419277
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 97,49,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(97,49,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(97,49,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(97,49,509) = ( 97 × 49 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(97,49,509) = 2419277 / 1
LCM(97,49,509) = 2419277
